I saw Michael play a few times this year. He knows how to run a team. He gets his teammates involved but can score when he has the opportunity. Has a very high basketball IQ. Good 3 point shot. Reminds me of a young Ty Jerome in the way he controls the game. Michael and Mali Smith from St Raymond's have similar games, both are fundamentally sound and know how to win.

Will never forget Bill Mazer doing his sports report on CH 5 while Wayne was maybe in 9th grade and saying that Kareem should enjoy himself now because there is a kid coming along that will be taking over (or something close to those words).

The LI Press was writing about McKoy playing for Elmcor as early as the 6th grade or so. Surprised he didn't end up at Power Memorial.

Prior to attending LuHi, Wayne went to grade school at Redeemer Lutheran in Bayside. He was in my older brother's class. As you might imagine, our grade school basketball games were always jam packed. His grade school coach was a man out of Chicago named Bill Rietschel, who also taught 8th grade at the school. Bill was patient and kind, a good coach and definitely likely had a big influence on Wayne going to LuHi.
As for Wayne himself, he was as polite and nice a kid as you would ever want to meet - no doubt as a result of his upbringing. His Mom was a spitfire! Seemingly half his height, but believe me, she took no prisoners! She was a wonderful woman and was constantly around the school and involved. A genuine positive influence not just on Wayne, but on all of us.
Even though our time at St. John's overlapped, I never saw him on campus. I was buried in St. Al's in the Pharmacy School, and I'm sure Coach Carnesecca kept him busy over at Alumni Hall. I ran into Wayne only once after his St. John's years and we got to talk for while - I was happy to see that he hadn't lost his smile. I am sure it served him well in the years since.

As much as I grew up hating Georgetown and Patrick Ewing, I can't help but feel bad for him to have his Olympic rings stolen. Having had the experience of my house being broken into, twice while my family sleeping the floor above brings back some unwanted memories.

A guy making $4 million per year at Georgetown and who earned $120 million as a player can afford a wall safe.
MJ stole a few NBA rings from Patrick.
